So if I do a sys-unconfig and reboot, I get presented with a bunch
of questions (which network do you want to use...) that /I/ don't have
any clue about which to choose either...
I'm not saying to automate this completely, but to provide tools that
the user can use to manage the complexity.
In the simple case, where I have a domU with a single iface, a tool
that could do
change_network_device --from rtls0 --to xnf34
is what I'm thinking of. My question above is how the user would figure
out that xfn34 would be the right new device name.
